    See what dxdiag reports, thats the true test there. If your running Windows 7 then yes you have DX11.

    Yeah, not really a user-selectable feature, part of Win7. You should be good to go regardless of Nvidia's control panel. Your idle temps are excellent.

    Only use Vsync if the fps you have in game exceed the screen refresh rate or else there is tearing involve.
